| Job 37:1 |
At this, too, my heart trembles / And leaps from its place. |
| Job 37:2 |
Hear attentively the noise of His voice / And the sound that goes forth from His mouth. |
| Job 37:3 |
He sends it forth under the whole heaven, / And His lightning unto the ends of the earth. |
| Job 37:4 |
After it a voice roars; / He thunders with the voice of His majesty / And does not withhold the lightning / When His voice is heard. |
| Job 37:5 |
God thunders wondrously with His voice; / He does great things that we cannot comprehend. |
| Job 37:6 |
For He says to the snow, Fall on the earth, / And to the rain shower and His mighty showers of rain. |
| Job 37:7 |
He seals the hand of every man, / That all men may know His doing. |
| Job 37:8 |
Then the beast enters its lair / And remains in its dens. |
| Job 37:9 |
Out of [its] chamber comes the whirlwind, / And from scattering winds, cold. |
| Job 37:10 |
From the breath of God ice is yielded, / And the expanse of waters is frozen. |
| Job 37:11 |
He also loads the thick clouds with moisture; / He scatters His lightning clouds; |
| Job 37:12 |
And they turn about by His guidance, / That they may accomplish / All that He has commanded them / Upon the surface of the inhabited earth; |
| Job 37:13 |
Whether for scourge or for His land / Or for lovingkindness' sake, He causes it to happen. |
| Job 37:14 |
Give ear to this, Job; / Stand still and consider the wondrous acts of God. |
| Job 37:15 |
Do you know how God lays [His charge] upon them / And causes His lightning clouds to shine? |
| Job 37:16 |
Do you know about the balancing of the thick clouds, / The wondrous acts of Him who is perfect in knowledge? |
| Job 37:17 |
You whose garments heat up / When, because of the south wind, the earth is still, |
| Job 37:18 |
Can you spread out the skies with Him, / [The skies] which are as hard as a molten mirror? |
| Job 37:19 |
Teach us what to say to Him; / We cannot arrange [our words] because of the darkness. |
| Job 37:20 |
Should it be said to Him, I will speak? / Or should a man say that he will be swallowed up? |
| Job 37:21 |
But now men do not look at the light, / Which is brilliant in the skies / When the wind has passed and cleared them. |
| Job 37:22 |
Out of the north comes golden splendor; / Upon God is the awesomeness of majesty. |
| Job 37:23 |
The Almighty--we cannot find Him out; / He is excellent in power, / And justice and the abundance of righteousness He will not damage. |
| Job 37:24 |
Therefore men fear Him; / He does not look upon any who are wise of heart. |
